What Is Facial Balancing?
Facial balancing is an approach to cosmetic treatment that looks at how your features relate to one another, rather than treating one area in isolation.
How facial balancing works
What does facial balancing mean?
Facial balancing is not a single procedure. It is a way of planning treatment that considers the proportions of the whole face: the forehead, cheeks, nose, lips, chin and jawline. A small change in one area, such as the chin, can change how another area, such as the nose or lips, appears. The aim is a result that looks harmonious and still looks like you.
Which treatments are used?
The plan depends on your anatomy and goals. It often involves dermal fillers to support areas such as the cheeks, chin or jawline, and may include neuromodulators, biostimulators or other treatments. Not every patient needs every treatment, and many plans are staged over more than one visit.
What happens at a consultation?
Dr. Guo assesses your face at rest and in movement, from the front and in profile, and asks what you would like to change. He then explains which areas would make the most difference and in what order, so you can decide how much or how little to do.
Who is it suitable for?
Facial balancing may suit people who feel one feature looks out of proportion, who have noticed changes with age, or who want a subtle overall refresh rather than a change to one feature. A consultation is the best way to find out whether it is appropriate for you.
